Select SDK step doesn't detect Elixir binaries for kiex + homebrew Erlang

[svileng]

I installed IntelliJ IDEA CE, installed the Elixir plugin and started importing an Elixir project. I followed the instructions and selected Mix from the first screen. Now I'm asked to select a project SDK and the README says:

If the automatic detection doesn't find your Elixir SDK or you want to use an older version, manually select select the directory above the bin directory containing elixir, elixirc, iex, and mix.

I tried adding /Users/Svilen/.kiex/elixirs/elixir-1.8 (which has the bin folder and binaries) but that didn't produce any results and the screen still says "Nothing to show".

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Elixir 1.8 with Kiex
2. Create Elixir project
3. Try to Import in IntelliJ idea 2019.1 with Elixir plugin

Expected behavior Elixir is detected when I select the folder containing the binaries.

Desktop:

• OS: MacOS
• Version 10.14.3 (Mojave)

Erlang:

• Installer homebrew
• Version 21

Elixir:

• Installer kiex
• Version 1.8

Plugin:

• Version 10.4.0

.kiex is one of the package managers that has a false bin directory that contains only links. In your case, select ~/.liex/elixirs/elixir-1.8/lib/elixir and the SDK will be setup correctly.

If you do that, you'll see that the Elixir ebin directories is included in the Classpath tab.
